Bismarck Title Co

Bismarck Title Co, a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Bismarck, North Dakota, provides title search, title commitment, survey update, final title policy, and real estate closing services exclusively to federal agencies as a prime contractor on a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service Central Region.

The company operates entirely in the full-and-open competitive space with no set-aside utilization, competing as a small business on federal title and real property acquisition work. Bismarck Title Co's entire federal footprint consists of 73 prime awards across four customer agencies, with 69 awards (95% of total activity and $1.8 million combined potential value) flowing from NRCS Central Region. The company has supported NRCS conservation easement acquisitions since at least 2011, with recent representative work including a $33,670.90 call (May 2024) for title searches on four Wetlands Reserve Program and Wetlands Reserve Enhancement Program properties totaling 357 acres across Grand Forks, Kidder, and Sargent counties; a $14,101.00 call (May 2026) for preliminary titles supporting Lee Lazy AG conservation easements in Starkweather; and a $6,963.00 call (March 2026) covering title work for three conservation easement acquisitions across Stutsman, Griggs, and Barnes counties. The company holds a single primary vehicle: a $750,000 single-award BPA established June 2023 running through June 2028, under which it has issued 22 task orders valued at $152 thousand. Work is performed in Bismarck, North Dakota, supporting NRCS programs including the Wetlands Reserve Program, Wetlands Reserve Enhancement Program, and Agricultural Conservation Easement Program. Individual task orders historically range from approximately $150 to $33,670.90. Activity has remained flat over the past four years, averaging five to seven awards annually, with 13 awards (combined potential value $101 thousand) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Beyond NRCS Central Region, Bismarck Title Co holds two awards from the National Park Service Midwest Region ($4 thousand combined value) and single awards from NRCS Northeast Region and the Internal Revenue Service. The company operates with no subcontract footprint — all 73 awards are prime contracts.
